If you have read my last proposal i'm not talking about remove ambassadors.

Regards

Francesco Ugolini

p.s. This is my proposal without Casey Jones modifications (it will
update soon):

>> The Ambassadors who will stay inactive* for a year will be marked
>> Inactive in their personal wiki page and in the Ambassadors list.
>>
>> *(People that don't follow anything of this possible activities: Be a
>> speaker at an event, Collect feedback from community members,Promote
>> Fedora events, Distribute Press Releases to local press, Support and
>> Coordinate offline Fedora and Open Source activities, Participate in
>> weekly meetings, Follow Ambassadors Mailing lists etc... (if you have
>> more please tell me).)
